Actibuilder SSSS.Gridman Release Info

Remember last Wonder Fest and the slew of awesome merch that was revealed for Studio Trigger’s upcoming SSSS.Gridman Anime? One of those products shown was the small-scale Actibuilder SSSS Gridman, and he’s finally ready for production with a plethora of images having come out via Figsoku.

MegaHouse’s Actibuilder SSSS Gridman will see a release in March 2019. Collectors will be able to choose from two options: either the figure stand-alone or in a set with the auxiliary vehicles.

To get the complete set, you’ll need 16,800 yen while the stand-alone figure will run you 5250 yen. Keep in mind that this figure stands at about 10cms tall, so it will be a tad small if you collect the S.H.Figuarts line.

The figure will be coming out in March, there'll be an option to buy him with the vehicles for 16,800 yen or on his own for 5250..which might sound pricy considering that he'll only stand at about 10 cms tall.

Bandai doesn't supposedly have the rights for the anime. That's why everything we have so far has been done by another company

Yeah. Though there is the possibility of Bandai getting the rights to it if it's included in another program or movie special and can be under that banner instead of the anime one.

Depends on how merchandise rights work in Japan, and if it's on direct show, or likeness rights to the character as a whole.

But the anime toy rights are under a different company, which is probably for the best right now anyway due to how much other material Bandai of Japan already produces. While they do great work, we also don't really want a full tokusatsu monopoly under them either. So helping some other companies out isn't a bad thing.

And like I said, depending on how the rights are divided, if the live suit gets used in a future Ultraman crossover thing, or even an R/B special, or otherwise, it may let bandai have some character access through that. Technically speaking, the anime rights and live rights might be two different rights entities, so long as the titling on the packaging isn't the same.

At 10cm tall, that makes it roughly 3.9 inches tall. About the size of a modern era GI Joe or little taller than a Shodo figure.

Which is cool, but damn I don't know if that's 50USD +shipping kind of cool. Though still cheaper than many of the Fate figures in the same size. 168 USD for the with vehicles seems really steep too.

Yeah, if this was somewhere in between 50~55$ USD including assist weapons I would not mind it but yeah... I would rather use the money to buy lots of groceries or 2 figuarts and a nice meal. Looks beautiful, but 168 bucks can get me a whole lot of other things.
